Do they make hand-held versions that would cut through exhaust that quickly? Not saying they don't, just I always though you needed something larger with a tank a hoses to keep up.

A battery powered sawsall with a "demolition" blade in it will cut through exhaust tubing in about 15 seconds, and its not terribly loud.

I'm sure a good Dewalt or Milwaukee would do it with a sharp blade. But damn, you would need to have a large set to use it in that location with that many people around.

Guys, If you look, I was referring to a hand held torch. I am well aware of the cordless reciprocating saws.


The pipe cutter idea is ingenious though. Wow.

Well, if that truck looked familiar, then you may be OCPD or retired OCPD, but that is another story. Just sayin'.

Who said it was a guy who did it? I mean, if a GIRL can shoot a Mosin Nagant, why can't she cut off a CC? Just food for thought for all the sexists here.

BB. A girl just can't drag a deer out of the woods....

Why would they steal that? It has no used value other than scrap does it?

Because catalytic converters are full of platinum and if you've ever bought a ring you know platinum is $$$.

They took it specifically to scrap it, guarantee you that.

Or maybe he's a member of the Leather & Old Chains Club.

I've seen an attempted cat theft in progress. The thieves were using a battery powered sawzall (demo or metal blade) and some type of WD-40 type spray. Him an his buddy saw us and took off like a bat out of hell. This was probably 4-5 years ago back in Texas, was in a mall parking lot. They had already cut the front pipe and were working on the rear when we spooked them.

I too hate thieves.

I'm going to bet, that the thieves used a chain pipe cutter. They don't need a ton of clearance to work, would be relatively quiet, as opposed to the Sawzall, and would make quick work, probably less than 5 minutes to make both cuts, grab the hot cat with vice grips and scoot on out of there. I'm with JB on this one, I hope the get anal cancer. I hate thieves! I work for everything I have and I hate some scumball taking my stuff and getting pennies on the dollar for it.

What you need is a Trunk Monkey. That would take care of the those %@!$%^& thieves!
